Book Review by LITEROMA PUBLISHING SERVICES :: ‘And So Can You’ by Dr. Roopleen

** Thanks to the author for gifting us a review copy of the book.**

** Thanks to our reviewer Merril Anil for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. **

‘And So Can You’ by Dr. Roopleen truly justifies its title as the book is a collection of some of the most inspirational life journeys of renowned doctors from across the country. Each of these stories leave the stark and strong message of how we can too achieve our dreams just like these inspirational figures did in their life.

The book excels in being able to resonate the life and struggles of these doctors in its simplicity and naturalist environment. I loved how the author didn’t try to portray them as larger than life but in simple and subtle way showed how the doctors mentioned in the book had to fight everyday odds to chase their dreams. It was amazing to read how many of these renowned doctors came from humble beginnings and shattering the contrary beliefs that doctors are reaped in the soil of wealth.

The stories are able to create an impact by simple and smooth flowing narration and with the added efficiency of language. The language is neither too tough to crack nor too simple to lose out on the essence and importance of what it wants to convey

I believe the book isn’t just for medical aspirants or doctors in the field but these stories can create an impact for anyone irrespective of their field to look on to their obstacles as a mere milestone towards chasing their dreams
One should pick this book to see the undercurrents of the profession and professionals that might be alluring and envious to all but demands a lot of personal sacrifices from one. The book is a quick and easy read with 17 stories of some of the renowned doctors of india. The best part is that the book has managed to collect individuals from various domains in the medical field and various corners of the country.

The language and the narration is simple and makes the reading an easy and good reading experience and I would suggest everybody to give it a try if you are looking for that extra dose of courage and push towards chasing your dream.

Overall, Literoma rates Dr. Roopleen's 'And So Can You' as 5*/5* and highly recommends it.

1.      This is your first published book...what made you compose this one? Ans 1:   I had been writing short stories over the past 10 to 15 years and many of these were published in in-house magazines. Some were also selected   for recognition too. Having travelled the length and breadth of the country, it dawned on me to distil some of my experiences in fact and fiction and create a bouquet of short-stories into a book. I have been a fan of the renowned writer, Sudha Murty and read most of her books and that was certainly an inspiration. 2.      What are your two most favourite short stories from your debut book? Ans 2.   “ The Gift of Love” and “Lost Memories”. Love transcends myriad odds in life and “Gift of Love” is based on a true event of Dharavi, although fictionalised. In “ Lost Memories”, we would like our readers to be sensitive to the growing cases of dementia in society. I have tried to depict the sublime love of a daughter for her father afflicted by su

#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Death Served Cold’ by Sourabh Mukherjee

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** ‘Death Served Cold’ by corporate turned author Sourabh Mukherjee brings an insight to the world of dark feminism. It's a continuum of short narratives based on real incidents; and is thus listed under 'Non fiction' category. Women assassins, over the decades, who have committed world's brutalest murders, have found a corner in Sourabh's latest title. With the advent of technology, research has become quite easy these days and the reason of bringing this point in our review is the extensive details provided by author, supporting each narrative and involved characters. Readers would be left chilled to read the brutalities or coldness with which those murders were committed.  Narration style is also quite absorbing. However, the cover page could have been lot better. It does not appeal to us!  We would like to wish Mr. Mukherjee, the author, all the very best for his future writing stints. Read

Rimli Bhattacharya: The Rising Star of Literoma Galaxy

Image
Author: Rimli Bhattacharya Romance is a popular yet a very difficult genre to explore in literature and that's exactly where Rimli Bhattacharya has ventured into with a smashing record over the years. Her first book 'The Crosshairs of Life' received a warm welcome earlier. However, Rimli's recent release 'That Day It Rained' made it to the Literoma Bestsellers at Book Fair 2021 (Kolkata, New Town). Both of Rimli's story books are tied to the same string of dark romance and nuptial abuses on women. It seems Rimli has mastered the genre with her powerful nib.  Most of her storylines bring out tough dilemmas of women when she is subject to extreme social, psychological or physical assaults by her own family members and/or dear ones. 'Running a Solo Marathon' from her debut book narrates how difficult is the life of a single woman / mother, fighting against all odds of life. Similarly, the title story of her second book, 'That Day It Rained' port
